I am Masters Student in the Civil Engineering Department at UNL with an emphasis in Transportation Engineering. I work under Prof. John Sangster and my area of research is analyzing restricted crossing u-turn intersection designs as a viable alternative for rural intersections compared to a two-way stop or grade-separated. I have previously worked at the Nebraska Department of Transportation as traffic control engineer and before that I had obtained my B.S. in Civil Engineering from UNL in May 2016.
